      <description><![CDATA[In France and Quebec, a legal presumption or an insurer carries part of the structural risk after a renovation.

      <description><![CDATA[For years, investing in Athenian real estate meant accepting a familiar trade-off. You bought into extraordinary cultural and economic upside, but you also bought into a bureaucratic maze, namely overlapping jurisdictions, decades-old regulations, and a permitting system that frequently rewarded local insiders and patient contractors far more than it rewarded transparent capital.

      <description><![CDATA[Comme beaucoup d'entre nous, j'ai traversé ces derniers étés en France avec cette sensation que la chaleur urbaine devenait chaque année un peu plus lourde, étouffante et difficile à supporter.
